Our Story
In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, over 190 countries were forced to close down schools and universities, thereby disrupting the traditional teaching model and affecting more than 1.5 billion school-aged children, who represent around 90% of the world’s student population. Students and teachers around the world were expected to continue online, but teachers in remote areas were quickly faced with the facts: 82 percent have no internet access, and around 56 million learners live outside mobile networks.
​
After researching the problem, Yam Education, Inc. was founded in 2021. The team at the time, designed online educational platforms with offline capabilities. These platforms require little connectivity and students and teachers can collaborate anywhere.
​
The primary focus has been bringing equitable educational opportunities to students in West Africa: Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Nigeria, and Kenya. With Yam’s Pathways Program, students in Africa have the opportunity to pursue an Associate’s Degree with Madison College.
